session repeated twice times

[MARK LUETCHFORD]

How unusual is this? UB40s second session was repeated twice. first broadcast 25 Jan 1982, repeated 11 Feb 1982 and again on 27 April. Interesting that he appreciated them as much as me - often accused of being cod reggae - a view I have never shared.

We also have him on tape saying this on 11 feb from a mix tape of mine: JP: 'Hello hewers of wood and drawers of water, I have been scouring the streets of old London town all day looking for more Belgian records to play you but all my efforts have proved fruitless so instead we have sessions by Play Dead and UB40 – the latter including a rather pointed piece about me."  http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/11_February_1982 show which we now have on the Karl Tape.

Its a dub called Prince Baldhead Meets Gymslip And The Schoolgirls At The Chemist - intro states 

"Right about now this  is to all the bad djs down at radio 1 in a rub a dub style - this one is for the man called John Peel, wheeler dealer, mash it" 

Sort of adds to our debate about Peel and Feminism that he thought it was a pointed piece about him ...

I have wanted to hear this since 1982 so thank you "Karl" that is why it is worth sharing even edited tapes. http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Karl%27s_Tape_04_-_April_1982 It appears that even the ub40 forum didn't know of its existence ... so i've posted there.


Nothing from the first play has arrived at our shows yet...
